I've never been excited about VR and 'blockchains'. I was, and still am, excited for Bitcoin, which in my opinion is the only useful application of blockchain. I use Bitcoin in a daily basis, and I have done it for over a decade.

As for ChatGPT, I'm actually using it and it enhances my productivity by a lot. So, I believe this isn't just hype.

May I use how you use bitcoin on a daily basis? I see it primarily as a form of storage, obv I am wrong here

I see it primarily as a form of transfering money, not storing money. I get paid overseas, convert it to bitcoin, transfer it to my wallet, then sell immediately.

How is this better than the kinds of transfers millions of other people use? With bitcoin you're converting twice via a very volatile pseudo-currency, so for most people the fees plus the risk mean other things are better.
